Apache, win2k and CHMOD 777

[Guest_imported]

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but to use the cgi-bin in win2k, How do I set a folder to have full access (CHMOD 777) while running apache web server in a win2k environment?

When go to change the mode in BFTP there is always a error, or the changes go though and nothing happens.

I have looked on the apache web page for ducumentation on this issue, but have spotted none. AAlso I have gone in windows and set the security permission of the folder to that "everyone" has full access, there was no apparent effect. Any help is greatly apreciated.

CHMOD is a unix/linux command and is not used by Windows based systems. You need to use the Allow/Deny directives in apache.

For the equivalent of 777 (which, as RhythmAce stated, is a unix setting and doesn't apply to Windows), you would define your cgi-bin folder to be wide open in your httpd.conf file as follows:

<Directory &quot;D:/Apache/htdocs/cgi-bin&quot;>
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI All Multiviews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Remember to restart Apache after editing and saving your file. Newposter
